Adopting Positive Selection Technology and Improving Seed Quality in Smallholder Potato Farmers in South-Western Uganda. by Kajura, Tibanyendera Deo

“…Despite the importance of the crop there has been considerable reduction in yield to the current yield of 4.2 tons ha-1 by smallholder farmers which is far short of its potential on-station yields of over 25 t ha-1, mostly due to inadequate supplies of high quality seed that compels farmers to continuously use their own recycled seed with latent infections by bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum), viruses and other tuber-borne pathogens. …”
